Hanging Wornanin England.

From inc Fall Mall Gazette
 The execution of Elizabeth Berry, convict ed of the murder of her daughter at Oldham, took place on Monday at Walton Gaol, Liv- erpool Berry was the executioner. The
 scaffo1d was erected over deep pit specially
 made in shed in the prison yard. The convict having been pinioned. the process ion to the scaffold was immediately formed, headed by the chaplain. The convict came next, with her eyes closed and supported by two female warders. On turning the corner which brought her in view of the scaffold she opened her eyes and appeared to faint away. She was hurled forward the few remaining paces, and quickly placed under the beam. The chaplain read the usual service, to which the unhappy women made the responses in an audible voice. She also spoke some additional words, which however. could not be heard at the short distance from the scaffold at which the re- porters stood. The bolt was drawn and the woman fell out of sight. The reporters were at once beckoned to approach, and it was seen that the body was hanging almost motionless, nor did any muscular convul- sions of pronounced kind take place. The doctors descended the well by ladder
 and took the usual observations of the dulse. The chaplain who was afterwards asked as to the words used by the culprit on the scafold said they were "May God forgive Dr. Peterson" The same remark she had made during the process of pinioning.
 The convict, being small and light woman,
 was given drop of 6 feet inches. The
 chaplain states that the culprit was very at
 tentive to his ministrations, but she declared
 her innocence to the last,

 Chicago.

Chicago.
 PITTsBURG, April 7.-The Times specia l from Harrisburg says: The Knights of Labor convention organized this afternoon by cleo ing General Treasurer Turner president. The purpose of the gathering is best explained in two speeches which Mir. Powderly made-one before the convention and another this eve ming in the hall of the House. There were one hundred and fifty delegates. There was secret session in which seven committees were appointed to which will be referred the various bills to be considered. The names of the men who compose there com mittees are kept secret. MT. Powderly's speeches were listened to with great interest. He said: 'sIt is with feeling of pride that ad- dress melting gathered in the House of Representatives of my native State on the question of labor, not only as it relates to workingmen, but in a broader sense as it re- lates to all. fee it my duty to speak in regard to the convention. The title had been cut off the original one sent to Harrisburg and another substituted. We always kept clear of one thing that brings odium upon our country-anarchy." MT. archists in Chicago. The applause that greeted this was deafening It found an echo in every heart. Continuing, MT. Pow derly said: ''Is it not more honorable to come here like men and confer with our representatives as to what ought to be done, and say we have aided rather than retarden progress. I was proud to meet the delega- tion that came to day. It was larger than l expected. I saw in that delegation sign of hope. Not man was under the influence of liquor. Of all our officers not one touch es, tastes or handles that which degrades the soul and damns the body-iquor."

KIsSANE,s CAREER IN CHINA.

A Favorite of the Emperor He Ris es Armies.
 DETROIT, April "A News special from Lansing, Mich, says: Usa Forster, Japan ese merchant of high standing here, furnish es 8 remarkable new chapter in the romance of Kissane, the millionaire flibusterer, mur- derer and forger. Up to the present no clue had been secured of Kissape from the time he was in the Nicaraguan expedition up to his appearance in California. MT. Forster supplies this hiatus. His story is substan- tially as follows: During the Chinese rebel lion of 1857 he was captured by detach- ment of rebels and taken to near Shanghai with other Japanese prisoners there. The rebels were overcome by the Chinese army under the command of an American. The latter was Kissane. He had secured the fa- vor of the Emperor through his shrewdness and quick wit and was speedily raise to the rank of general. The young Japanese pris- oner, now living here, was fancied by Kis- sane, who made him his body servant. Kis- sane finally left the army and with Usa trav- eled through European art circles. Some times the boy was treated harshly and at other times kindly. They finally came to New York in 1870 and Kissane disappeared. Usa came to Lansing, overcame his Oriental manners, married an American lady of means and is one of the leading merchants here. He is thoroughly creditable and his story is regarded as clearing up 8 part of Kissane's adventurous wanderings.

How Mrs. Fleming Got Rich.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
 Who shall say that minute knowledge of fashions changeful customs is not worth while, when May Agnes Fleming got rich by that means! She died year or more ago, leaving a fortune over which fight has just arisen in the courts. She was 8 writer of stories for one of the cheap papers. I asked publisher in that field how, when morbid
 fiction is so plenty, Mrs. Fleming accumula- ted wealth.
 Principally by making a study of the ways of the rich and fashionable folks," was the reply. ''She had knack of conceiving good plots for stories calculated to interest women and girls; but so have hundreds of amateur novelists, whose work may be had almost for the asking Different from them, she took the pains to learn accurately and fully how women in the best society," be- haved, and she made her swell heroines con- form thereto In that way she produced ina aginary ladies who were true to realism. She kept them right up to the times I have even known her, in recasting one of her old stories for fresh publication, to alter not only the costumes of the heroine, but to change her tricks of manner to suit new usages of society. Some of her readers may not have appreciated this, but the editors did, and it vastly enhanced her in their estimation and boomed her along to popularity" "And how much pay did she getg' ''At the time of her death she was un- der contract to write ten stories for seven ty five thousand dollars. They were to be produced at the rate of two a year, thus making her income fifteen thousand dollars per annum."

tire Wardrobe to Chance.
 From the Carson CNev) AppeaL1
 A few days ago some Indians were playing cards in vacant lot, when suddenly the best dressed of the crowd rose up and took off a shining broadcloth coat that only week be- fore was presented to him by Jewett Adams. He laid the coat down on the old card blan- ket with great flourish and called vocife- rously for new deal. The deal went round and his opponent, who was an old Washoe squaw, laid down greasy ace on his king. He then rose up with loud oath and peeled off vest presented him last Thursday by the editor of the Appeal as spring benevo- fence. The deal went round again, and once more the old squaw terminated the play with an ace. Again the buck rose up, and after invoking the blazing sun hauled off a white shirt, somewhat the worse for wear, presented him by Bob Heating during the pendency of the lottery bill.
 Once more the cards were Tipped over the old horsey blanket and that ace was laid down by the skinny handed squaw amid a shout of triumph from the crowd. The buck, with the old ancestral vim of the Washoe tribe flashing in his eye, danced out, and pulling off Judge Hawley's pants, four 1shed them in mid-air and staked them on the turn or the next card. Amid a murmur of condoling voices he lost again, and this time pulled off another pair of pants, the birthday gift of H. NJ. Warrington on last election day. Again the cards were artisti- cally commingled and the old fossil relic of the Winnemucca war took in the clothes. He still had an old pair of pants left, a val entine present from Joe Douglass and we'll worn. Amid breathless silence he lost, and peeling off his only remaining pants, he did them up ill small wad and flung them at the squaws head. A howl of aboriginal laughter went up and the squaw. motiening toward the breeohcloth, began manipulating the cards. But the buck, who still had some living remnants of acclimated modesty, de- clined to further denude himself, and break ing from the crowd ran like cross eyed ga- zel1e up the street, causing much astonish- ment to several housewives along the line of his flight. Then the old squaw placed the articles of clothing one by one upon the body of her husband who at once began to strut fI,o vi, iLyo O yrct 1or6o of

 CHICAGO, April 7.-Dr. W. N. Williams has had narrow escape from death at the hands of an infuriated anarchist named Frank Moeck. He was called last evening to attend Moeck's son, seven, who had been run over by street car, he being employed by the company. While amputating the boys leg, the father, who had just heard ot the accident, reached home imbued with the idea that he could have revenge on the cor. poration by killing the doctor. He seized a pistol and leveled it at the physician but il failed to explode. The doctor escaped through a rear window carrying the sash and all with him, but returned later with two other medi- cal men and finished the amputation, Moeck having been induced to see the necessity ot it by the consultations of the neighbors.
